Sen. Arlen Specter has accused the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles of treating suspended wide receiver Terrell Owens unfairly, and might refer the matter to the antitrust subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Specter, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said at a news conference that it was "vindictive and inappropriate" for the league and the Eagles to forbid the star wide receiver from playing and prevent other teams from talking to him. "It's a restraint of trade for them to do that, and the thought crosses my mind, it might be a violation of antitrust laws," Specter said.
For the love of Christ, what the fuck is wrong with Congress? Can we focus on some more important things like the war or poverty or deciding which conservative nut will be our next Supreme Court justice or anything else which is even remotely important? Investigating the NFL for possible antitrust violations because of the TO suspension strikes me as slightly less important as determining whether Heinz or Del Monte makes the superior ketchup (for the record, it's Heinz).
If you have so much free time Arlen, how about cleaning up your own your own kind? You've got fellow asshole Republican Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigning after pleading guilty to taking $2.4 million in bribes and you're focusing on a goddamned sport? Or do you think that the Duke (what a retarded nickname) is being similarly mistreated as Terrell Owens?
Fuck, we waste so much time and resources on ensuring that baseball players be free of performance enhancing drugs, but we don't even require mandatory drug testing for Congress? God, we are an entirely fucked up country right now.
